I have mixed feelings about Helena, but yeah, that seems pretty much perfect.

And and, read my edit to this post, I've been waiting on this info for months.

I forgot all about the young ones. My innards are gleeful now.

Young James, Lily and Pettigrew have been cast for ages, but the ones that were making the fans crazy just got announced.

Young Snape is apparently the kid pictured here: http://www.newburytheatre.co.uk/images/shininglights_arabiannights030.jpg accoring to the chatter over at LC.

I can see it...sans the rocking horse, hopefully.

Elsewhere, there's this link to pretties, as well as .

Young Snape might have this myspace account , but sadly, I can't access that from work to see if it's legit.

Erg. Fixing links, we have:

James, Lily, and Remus.
A bunch of people, actually.
Maybe-Snape

FWIW, the actor in your first link is not who they've actually cast as young Remus. That photo is of Stuart Hastings, who was rumored to be playing him, but isn't.

Seconds the "Need pix now!" comment.

I'm glad I haven't done my Bellatrix cosplay yet... ;)

Check comments, some pics and maybe-pics.

ooh yays!

Oh cool. I wouldn't have thought of her, but now that you mention it, that totally works.

Exactly my reaction. The Bella in my head is taller and not as overtly crazy has HBC characters usually are, but, that said, it's a phenomenal choice, and I'm totally cool with it.
